Master Thesis – Data Analytics for Vehicle Thermal System Simulation Models

Introduction

Modelling and simulation of vehicle systems is an important and integrated part of the development process for vehicles. It is of great importance that the simulation models learn and are continuously improved based on feedback from actual usage of the products in the hands of the customer. This is a growing field where we now offer an opportunity for you to contribute to the progress.

Who we are

The Thermal Management department within Vehicle Technology is responsible for developing, delivering, and maintaining an optimized Cab Climate and Thermal Supply systems for all types of propulsion installations to all truck brands within the Volvo Group. We are responsible for leading the work with strategies and advanced engineering globally. We are located at Gothenburg and Bangalore and we have close cooperation with the engineering sites located in Greensboro and Lyon. We understand the final customer needs and apply our knowledge to develop technical concepts and solutions that satisfy customer and business needs. The work is based on innovation, shared technology, common architecture and brand uniqueness. We want to make a difference by being there for our customers and by providing uptime and reliable products.

As a master thesis student in the Thermal Management Verification and Validation team you will be a valued contributor to our deliveries and continuous learning. You will be surrounded by a global and diverse team of highly skilled and engaged colleagues who will be interested in the progress of your work and eager to help and support along the way.
